Those are very cool!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

How about I rent a Uhaul trailer, haul that Vega back here with it and help you sell it in truck country!? :-D Ranchers just love them Cummings

I don't think I'll have much trouble selling it here. Be a while before the new GMC shows up.

Sure wish you had pictures of the Plymouth/Y block head conversion.

How well did that run ? :-o
I guess the answer is "a Secret" .

It went 135.XXX at the lake and Bonneville with the Ford head on gas. The flathead went 113.7 something on gas at El Mirage. Same cam,pistons, rods, Compression ratio.

Mostly I just want to see it run. I don't expect it to be fast. It's purely technology of the 'teens. If it runs 125 I will think that is pretty good.

I would think, that for technology of the 'teens, 125 would be pretty damn good! 8-)

Zendog has been pushing me to go out in the garage and watch him work on the Dodge. We got the pan on, rear and front seals handled. Some idea of the motor mount. and dialed in the bellhousing, made progress on the clutch. Still waiting for the cam/distributor drive gears.

Mr Fox you never fail to amaze me! I have been collecting an assortment of "Offbeat" power plants, and parts over the years with the intent of doing something with them... someday. Now that I'm about to retire from the Military and take one of those cushy state jobs I'll have time to make "Someday" happen. I've gotten my choices down to 2 engines... A Perkins 3 cylinder Diesel, or a 1951 226 Ford six. Guess I'll have to put a blindfold on and throw a dart.. which ever engine I hit will be the one.
Anyway that Dodge is looking great! Keep us up to date.

Looking good, Rich!

So, enlighten us as to Zenndog's involvement....

Zenor Lukasiewcz is a semi local guy who is temporally cut off from his own projects (Chopped IH pickup, Stude powered T speedster) who responded when I mentioned that I could use some help. So he has been showing up on weekends and pushing me to at least get something done. Perfect for what I need. I think he is really trying to get the Dodge Bros. done so that I can resume work on the Studebaker pickup. Again, just what I should be doing.
